Recent and forthcoming launches of a plethora of ocean color radiometry sensors, coupled
with increasingly adopted free and open data policies are expected to boost usage of …

Sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) retrieved from satellite measurements has been widely
used as proxy for chlorophyll-a concentration and as indicator of phytoplankton …

Chlorophyll fluorometers provide the largest in situ global data set for estimating
phytoplankton biomass because of their ease of use, size, power consumption, and …

A novel algorithm is presented for detecting trophic status (chlorophyll-a), cyanobacterial
blooms, surface scum and floating vegetation in coastal and inland waters using top-of …

In biological oceanography, it has been widely accepted that the maximum quantum yield of
photosynthesis is influenced by nutrient stress. A closely related parameter, the maximum …

As we understand more about the optical properties of aquatic substances and their
influences on ocean colour, it became possible to envisage the use of ocean-colour data to …

Today the water quality of many inland and coastal waters is compromised by cultural
eutrophication in consequence of increased human agricultural and industrial activities …

A global assessment of carbon flux in the world ocean is one of the major undertakings of
the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS). This has to be undertaken using historical in …

Phytoplankton photosynthesis links global ocean biology and climate-driven fluctuations in
the physical environment. These interactions are largely expressed through changes in …

One of the major design goals of the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS)
was the capability to use the signal from chlorophyll fluorescence stimulated by ambient …
